The Superiority Of Love Over Law

In the end time when lawlessness and rebellion will be prevalent, we must understand the superiority of love over law. We must see a dispensation break forth in which a people become submerged into the love of God and into a walk by the Spirit. Separated from God’s love, the law attempts to bring order through oppression. Our great answer is the grace and love of God whereby we serve one another. The Word was preceded by practical instructions on how to overcome discouragement and depression.

Love — A Higher Governing Principle

We are living in a time when anarchy, rebellion, and evasion of the law are increasing. Legalism or a code of ethics are not the answers. There is a higher governing principle: the love of God that comes as we walk by the Spirit. When we are filled with the Father’s love, we no longer serve the lusts of the flesh, and therefore, we are no longer under the law. Instead, we become addicted to serving Him and one another. This Word is a very timely answer to the moral challenges that our nation and our young adults are facing.

These messages were spoken in South Gate, CA on Sunday, March 6, 1966 and in Sepulveda, CA on Wednesday, March 9, 1966 and in South Gate, CA on Thursday, March 10, 1966. Hidden Treasure.

Lord, Give Us A Right Spirit!

The human spirit is capable of vibrations that are almost infinite. Sin and evil vibrate on a very low scale. There is a greater force that comes from one who has a right spirit before God and who is yielded to His will. A right spirit can stop evil in its tracks. Lord, give us a right spirit!

Three Phases Of Paul’s Consecration

There were three distinct phases of Paul’s consecration: 1) a bond servant of Jesus Christ, 2) called to be an apostle, 3) separated unto the gospel of God. The first phase was a relationship of dedication. The second phase represented the authority and office that he held. The third phase was a specific relationship and work. Like Paul, we should magnify what God has given us to do.

Only He Is Worthy

When we ask something of the Lord, we must be very careful that we approach Him in the right way. None of us are worthy of God doing anything for us. When we come to God, we must understand His authority over the situation. It takes faith to walk with God, to believe His Word; our worthiness does not even come into the picture.

Communion Meditation: Avenge Us Of Our Adversary

As we come to the communion table, we must realize that we are facing satanic powers that are set to usurp and divert the provisions and the rich heritage that God has for us. Our answer is not to battle Satan directly, but to continually stand before the throne of God and plead, “Avenge us of our adversary!” Our faith is that God will bring about justice swiftly.

The Present As It Relates To The Future

Many times, God’s purposes in your life will be fulfilled because of the present difficulties that you are facing. The Lord often orders the present so that your future can be unlimited in His blessing. When God starts working on the inner man, do not think that it is pointless. He wants to be glorified through your life.

A Living Prophecy: February 22, 1966

In this living prophecy the Lord says, “Hindrances shall be removed from thy way and ye shall walk in the victory of the Lord.” Open your heart wide to these words for they are words of the Spirit, a message of the living Christ.

Knowing And Appropriating

There has been a finished work by the Lord Jesus Christ, but people do not know how to appropriate what God has provided. How do we change this? It involves Christ’s continued intercession for us, and the Holy Spirit’s intercession through us. God does not want us to be spiritual paupers. He intends that what He has provided should be constantly ministered into our lives until there is hardly room enough to contain it.

How Do We Appropriate His Fullness?

God has provided a perfect and complete salvation. However, we have not appropriated it to any significant measure. There is a wide gulf between what we have accepted in the Word and what we have appropriated in experience. How can we fully appropriate His complete provision? The greatest factor is the intercessory work of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Break Through With Fasting And Prayer

As a result of fasting and prayer, men of God triggered spiritual outpourings and changed the course of history. Fasting is not a religious exercise to gain merit with God; fasting is the laying aside of the needs of the flesh so that you can draw closer to God. Many practical instructions on how to obtain the best physical and spiritual benefits of a fast are given in this message.

Fasting

Fasting is often the prelude to change; it can bring to a close one phase of your life and open up another. Fasting can be very beneficial, both physically and spiritually. This message includes practical instructions that will help you experience the blessings of a fast.

The Permeating Word

When God begins to minister to your heart, it may seem like a small thing at first. However, His Word has a transformative quality. God inserts His Word into your heart, and like a little leaven, it will continue to grow until it reaches every aspect of your life and your being.

The Faith Of A Mustard Seed

We do not understand yet the power of a living Word and its influence. The Word of God comes to us like leaven; it has a transformative quality that begins deep within us. The Lord emphasizes the greatness of the little things, the faith of a mustard seed. We are on the threshold of something great; God is preparing His people to be His voice at a conjunction of dispensations.

Called As Ministries Of Judgment

Psalm 149 is a description of the victory and the ministry of judgment that the Lord Jesus Christ intends for His people to walk in. Walk in it carefully and humbly. Don’t be presumptuous. The glory and praise belongs to the Lord; it is His authority and His victory. An exhortation on freedom precedes the Word.

An Exhortation On Change

In this exhortation, John declares: “We are becoming a changed people. We are going to see transformation. It is a day to believe for deliverance.”

Focus On The Lord

When your focus is wholly set upon the Lord and you magnify Him, you set something in motion that comes back to you from Him. All of heaven is set to bless and deliver the person who will so worship God.

Lord, Increase Our Faith

It takes faith to walk with God. Faith has to put its trust in God’s Word. Do not reason things out by your own understanding. God knows how to bring the victory.

The Walk Of Faith

Faith is necessary for every step of your life. Sometimes God tests your faith by delaying the answer; however, a divine delay does not constitute a divine denial. God draws out your faith by deliberate discouragement. A walk of faith is what pleases Him. Unbelief is a sin against His integrity; repent of it. All the good things that God has for you come through this channel of faith.

How Does God Evaluate Us?

The human housing of Christ can be as deceptive today as it was in the days when Jesus walked the earth. Yet God’s evaluation of your life is based on how you relate to Christ coming forth in others. Christ said, “Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these brethren, you’ve done it unto Me.” Open your heart and give to others what you are, expecting nothing in return.

Dedicate Yourself To Serve

What you are and what you have, and the way that you give it to others determines whether your life is worthwhile or not. The key to your enrichment, to your development, and to the blessing that the Lord puts upon your life is your dedication to serve.

Be Wholehearted

What is your goal? Will it glorify the Lord if it was accomplished? What are the steps to be taken to attain it? Be wholehearted! Unless you are wholehearted, you will drift through life and nothing of great consequence will happen to you.

Speak Unto The People To Go Forward

Exodus chapter 14 teaches us how to respond under pressure, when we are faced with impossible circumstances. Whether the Lord commands us to “stand still” or to “go forward,” we must not create our own way of escape. Trust God and believe that He will provide a miracle route for deliverance.

Three Positions Of Faith

When you want to appropriate blessings from God, your faith has one of three positions: 1) the position of presumption; 2) the position of passivity; or 3) the position of active faith. Active faith is a trust in God that is expressed in action. Which position are you in?

Communion Meditation: I Corinthians 10

For forty years in the wilderness, the Israelites were sustained by a miracle flow. The only thing that could defeat them was their own spirit. We also, like Israel of old, are under the protection of the glory of God. Watch your spirit. Partake of the communion, and be one with it; refuse to feed upon bitterness and rebellion.

Hear The Word And Act On It

Have you heard more truth than you have acted on? There is a danger in that. Your foundation is faulty. When you hear a Word from God, you must act on it immediately and do the most important things first.

Communion Meditation: The Sufficiency Of God’s Grace

God has a destiny for everyone of us. God can cause the flow of His grace towards us to be sufficient for anything that He calls us to do. Grace is God’s visitation of Himself to us in our need, that we might execute His will in the earth.

“It Is The Lord!”

When the Lord was revealed to the disciples for third time after His resurrection, they recognized first His power, then His presence, and finally His provision (John 21). They were then ready to listen to the great commission He wanted to give them. Likewise, today, a joyful recognition of the Lord’s presence and provision is about to dawn on God’s people, and He is ready to move through them to bring forth His will in the earth.

Emmaus is a way of escape; it is wherever we go, or whatever we do, when we feel that Jesus has failed us. Do not run; do not withdraw. There is something precious that comes when you stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. This service includes an exhortation concerning the military draft and the Vietnam war.

The Initiative Is Yours

Conformed To God’s Joy

The joy of the Lord is not optional; we are told by God’s Word to rejoice evermore. Learn to rejoice: by not confusing sorrow with repentance; by constant appropriation of the life of Christ; and by instantly changing your attitude to conform to what God says concerning a matter. Keep your heart open to the joy of the Lord.

And There Arose A Fierce Gale

When you have a meeting with God and step out to walk with Him, a storm of trials and spiritual battles will arise. When the storm hits, you may feel as though God does not care about you. You can become fearful and timid. However, you were called to believe God! Venture out into this walk of the Spirit. Link yourself with the eternal destiny that God is bringing forth in this generation.

The Responsibility To Pray

Murmuring, complaining, and griping are not prayer. Prayer is a personal, direct relationship between you and God. When you pray, focus on the Lord, not on your need. Be specific about what you want; be wholehearted, sincere, and persistent. When you meet these requirements in your prayer, God will answer and your reward will be great.

In his life, Jacob clearly profited from what was plain dishonesty. That is acceptable, from a worldly viewpoint. It looks like Jacob almost won. However, God wrestled with Jacob and brought him to total defeat so he could know real victory. As sons of God, we cannot succeed by human means, only by the blessing of the Lord.

Do We Accept Our Circumstances?

Your circumstances may be very factual, but they produce lying vanities. You do not have to submit to the defeat that your circumstances represent. Do not let Satan bluff you out with unbelief. Instead, determine to give the Lord the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and He will show you His great mercy and salvation.

A Divine Focus

Everyone has problems that could keep them from walking on with God. The key to running the race with endurance is constant renewal by the Holy Spirit and constant appropriation of God’s grace. A divine focus prevents human discouragement. We need a faith that draws on yesterday’s provision for today’s strength, while it draws on tomorrow’s joy and fulfillment.
